Breeding methods and precautions of dragon scale spring feathers

Dragon Scale Spring Feather is easy to raise, and the breeding method is very simple. It likes high temperature and humid environment, is shade-tolerant and likes scattered light but is afraid of the sun's exposure in summer. It needs to be raised in loam with loose soil, good water permeability and air permeability, because such soil can drain water in time and is more suitable for growth.

How to breed dragon scale spring feathers

Dragon Scale Spring Feathers requires relatively fertile, loose and breathable soil, which can be prepared with soil, leaf mold and garden soil. The substrate should be kept moist during the growing period, but water accumulation should be avoided. Watering should be reduced in cold winter weather. The plant likes shade and receives mild light. Do not expose it to the scorching sun, so sun protection is required in summer. Topdressing should be done once a month during the growing period, and thin fertilizer should be applied.

1. Soil

When growing dragon scale spring feathers, relatively fertile soil should be used, because it is not tolerant to barrenness, so it likes to grow in loose, breathable, slightly acidic soil. When potting, you can choose to buy special nutrient soil, or you can prepare it yourself by mixing peat soil, leaf mold, and garden soil. If the soil used for growing dragon scale spring feathers has been used to grow other plants before, it must be fully disinfected before use.

2. Watering

Dragon Scale Spring Feather has a certain demand for water during its growth period. At this time, the soil should be kept slightly moist, but without water accumulation. When the soil is relatively dry, the leaves are prone to wither and turn yellow. In a hot environment, you should water it more appropriately to prevent water from evaporating too quickly and affecting the plant's absorption. The climate is cold in winter, so you should water less and do not water it in the morning or evening.

3. Lighting

Dragon scale spring feathers like a relatively shady growing environment and are not resistant to strong sunlight. The light in the maintenance location should be gentle, and do not provide it with strong direct light, which can easily sunburn the leaves. If it is maintained indoors, it can be placed in a scattered light location, such as by the window. Sun protection measures need to be taken in summer, because the sunlight at this time is very strong, which will be detrimental to the growth of the plant.

4. Fertilization

During the growth process, the demand for fertilizer of Dragon Scale Spring Feather is not very high. When potting, some base fertilizer should be applied, and appropriate topdressing should be applied during the growth period. Fertilizing once a month can meet its growth needs. You can choose to apply thin cake fertilizer water. In the cold winter, you should apply less fertilizer appropriately, or you can temporarily stop fertilizing according to the growth of the plant.

Dragon scale spring feather maintenance precautions

When the dragon scale spring feathers grow, you should also pay attention to pruning. When the leaves turn yellow and dry, you need to prune them in time. The poorly growing leaves should be cut off to promote the growth of new leaves. In addition, you should pay more attention after pruning to avoid contact between the wound and water, and do not let the maintenance environment be too dark and humid to avoid infection.
